tile: Fix BZ #18508 (makecontext yield infinite backtrace)
It turns out tile suffered from the same problem as S390. However, disabling CFI information for the __startcontext on tile was not sufficient to fix the problem; I think the backtracer will just blindly try to follow the link register (lr) in that case. Instead, the change adds a cfi_undefined directive for "lr" and then arranges to call __startcontext directly when the new context starts, rather than just synthesizing a return to it. In addition to being a bit easier now to understand the control flow, this also allows the cfi_undefined directive to be placed in a way that causes it to be in force at the address that the "lr" from the called function points to.
